SI.5O IN ADVANCE

st. John Advance: That the corn
crop in this county was damaged by the
recent dry spell there can be no doubt.
Bot the damage is slight, and the large
acre age planted last spring viii bring
the yield up to that Of last year. There
sill be a large surplus in this county,
and there will be a demand for it at
good price.
Save the wood ashes to use as
fertilizer. 1t is more profitable than to
sell them to the soaplnarkers. Wood
asLes never come Rmiss on tn farm or in
tlsg .rdsn.
The Rasral World says that the great
profits from sheep cannot be made by
farm 7rs who do every thing IN the grand
wholesale way. No animal requires
better care and close attention the sheep.

call from Mr.. Rightmire, one Of the best
informed and most successful farmers

weeks and the hot winds have damaged
all the late corn two-thirds, while early

their corn In order to save what was left

Alien, of Sycamore, brought us some
''Eub6ins" of corn TO show the effect OF a
little fertiIizing ou uplands. The short

and we'll glazed. The others run II to
IS inches, and we'll filed except the last
inch His field Will average 8 to Is inch
ears, three ears to the hill. He will have
three or four times as much as last year
and thinks tine crops viii average that
way in the neighbOrhOod.

the other 10 months old, with calves by
their sides. The calf belonging to the
lis months heifer is perfect in every
part and as large and active as the aver
! age calf; but the one belonging to the
heifer Is months old is a real curiosity.
When born, It was no larger than q small
dog, beng about IA Inches high, and
has OF made much growth since. Its
tail is a third longer than the average
calf's tail, several inches of which drag
on the ground. The little dwarf is as
pert and active as a frisky lsmb and

/ way peculigrly its OWL ar. jackson has
been engaged in the cattle business Tor
80 years, but says never within his eZpe-
rience can he recall occurrences as pecu-
liar us the ones herein mentioned.
